We came here to try the food with my parents as it was my mom's birthday. We walked in and took a while to sit down. We got sat down. It reminded me of like a Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong or some other country where they don't greet you right away and kind of wait on you. We then met our waitress who brought water. Then we ordered bao buns, some dumplings, Mongolian beef, chow fun, won ton soup. The buns and dumplings are made fresh by a lady which you can watch. They were good. The food was good overall, nothing was WOW! But solid. I can't ding a star when things are solid. No ice cream is served there just fyi.
Based on this experience we are giving it a florida 4. In NY this would be a 3 maybe 3.5. The service was friendly but they claimed they did know the WiFi password because the owner is in NY. We tried egg roll which was hot and not greasy but also not tasty. The bbq ribs were tender and hot but overly covered with excess sauce. That same concept applied to the general tso chicken: the Singapore noodles were delicious. The star of the show for me was the roast port fried rice ordered without vegetables: it was served hot and steamy and tasty. Given our experience to date with florida Chinese restaurants we give it 4 but really it's closer To a 3.5. We will try it again and see how consistent it I'll be.
Great Chinese lunch here today. The old Apron signage for the previous restaurant is still up, but C-Flavor is on the door and worth the visit! I had the lunch special with Hot & Sour Soup and Chicken with Eggplant. The Soup has plenty of personality and the sauce with the Chicken and Eggplant was delicious!
We had a very good lunch here today. We'd read online about the new management at this Chinese restaurant. We decided to try it. The sign still says China Lane on the marquis. But the door sign says welcome to C-Flavor. There's ample seating inside. When we stopped by there were a few other tables dining in. We looked at the regular menu, but noticed they also had a page of lunch specials. Even though it was Saturday, the lunch specials were available. My husband started with hot n sour soup -- you can choose soup or an egg roll or a soda. He liked his soup. I began with an egg roll. It was good. My only minor quibble were the prepackaged crunchy noodles for the soup -- I much prefer house made ones. For our entrees, he got chicken with eggplant. He really liked this dish - especially the flavorful sauce. And I got shrimp in black bean sauce. There were a lot of vegetable pieces (mushrooms, white onions, red onions, bok choy, carrots, baby asparagus, green and red peppers, water chestnuts, zucchini) mixed in with the shrimp and the slightly salty black bean sauce. I was quite happy with my lunch portion. Each entree came with a small bowl of white rice. I also tried their steamed bbq pork buns. The slightly sweet dough brought back childhood memories. They were very good -- 3 to an order -- even though the inside is a slightly different textured and chopped bbq pork. They are getting a lot of buzz online. As there aren't too many good Chinese restaurants here where you can dine in, you might want to try them before the season starts. I have a feeling they will be most popular.
After two dinners at C-Flavor (formerly China Lane), I think I've figured this place out. This kitchen is capable of producing outstanding food and disappointing food at the same time. Order strategically and you'll have one of the best Chinese meals in the Boynton/Delray area. The dim sum is the reason to come. The xiaolongbao are excellent. On our first visit I watched them being pleated to order, and they arrived with thin wrappers and plenty of rich broth inside. They're among the best soup dumplings I've had in South Florida. The pan-fried dumplings were also very good. The soups are another strength. The hot and sour soup has a big white pepper kick, and the West Lake beef soup was outstanding. Skip the wonton soup. The roast pork fried rice has real wok hei and generous pieces of house-roasted pork. The Chinese sausage fried rice was also good, though I still prefer the roast pork version. The eggplant with garlic sauce (add shrimp) was excellent, as were the salt and pepper shrimp and dry-fried green beans. Not everything worked. The har gow had gummy wrappers and a pasty, fishy filling, and the egg rolls were small and bland. Service has been friendly on both visits. Our second dinner was during a packed Saturday evening with about a 25-minute wait, and the entire dining room was being handled by one server. Despite the staffing challenges, the kitchen never missed a beat. Bottom line: skip the har gow, egg rolls, and wonton soup. Order the xiaolongbao, West Lake beef soup, roast pork fried rice, eggplant with garlic sauce, dry-fried green beans, and salt and pepper shrimp. That's where C-Flavor really shines.
First time there under new management. My Eggplant in Garlic Sauce was sooooo delicious, as you can tell by my empty plate!
2 1/2 * Given all the buzz on social media, we opted to dine in tonight (7-3-26) at the newly opened C Flavor in Boynton Beach, arriving just before 7 pm. I'll preface my comments with this: I can understand; they've barely been open more than a week, and they need to get their act together. The room is sedately decorated in earth tones. The decor may have been re-existing. In the middle of the dining room was a takeout counter and, I hope, for display only, a booth with a tray of dumpling wrappers and platters of unchilled ground meat. Not a table to be had, and there was no one to greet us or seat us. The busser, the only gweilo working there, finally cleared off a table and seated us. We were ready to go. We'll almost. No one to take our order. Foodwise, here's what we found: Soups at $5 a bowl were larger than the typical Chinese single-serve bowls. Hot & sour soup was among the best I've had in SoFla. It was indeed spicy and tart, and the bowl was packed with veggies and nuggets of ground meat. Chicken corn soup was egg drop soup almost devoid of chicken and taste, with corn kernels that were barely cooked. Wonton soup, per my friend, was okay. As we slurped out soup, our server informed us they were out of egg rolls;. ($5 for 2). Each shrimp shumai ($8) in an order of 4 had one whole shrimp surrounded by an over-steamed dough wrapper. The menu listed pork and shrimp shumai, but it turned out to be one or the other. Boneless spareribs ($15) were tender and coated in a honey sauce. Mongolian beef ($20) contained a good amount of tender meat; the sauce was tasty, but the onions and scallions needed more time in the wok. Crispy shrimp with honey walnuts ($20) were perfectly cooked, but were surrounded by almost ice-cold steamed broccoli. Pork lomein ($13) had bits of pork, but the noodles, coated in a flavorful sauce, were overly al dente. Steamed white rice, too, needed more time in the rice cooker. There's plenty on the menu I'd love to try and we'll probably be back, but not for a while, as they need time to figure things out.

Amazing service and the inside looks great with the new management. Intan was so sweet! Soup was solid 9/10. Great flavor and dumplings were definitely fresh made. Egg roll was tasty and hot. Shrimp steam dumplings were also delicious. We got the sesame chicken and the house fried rice. The chicken was a little sweet. The rice was outstanding. We will definitely be back. read more
They said they are waiting for the lanlord to change the signage here, now the previous name, China Lane, is front and center... a bit unusual, but doesn't seem to phase them. It's a medium size dining room with basic furnishings. The dumpling station dresses it up a bit. The staff is pleasant and go about their business, very business-like. Service and kitchen timing was good. Won ton soup (7.8) on the strength of the good won tons, but the broth was lackluster. Served with crispy noodles (7.0) wound up eating a bunch as they were right there. Soup was served very hot, liked that. Egg Roll (6.8) had a boring filling. The best dish was the Soup Dumplings (8.5), good flavor. Like everything else, served piping hot. The dumpling category seems where their strength is. The photo of the duck looks good, wondering about it and hope to see some reviews soon... a good report will bring me back. read more

C-Flavor took over the China Lane location in the Fountains Shopping Center, Boynton Beach. The manager (maybe owner) has worked in the restaurant since the Shopping Center was built so she should be familiar to many. We went for lunch and the food was tasty and plentiful. I was impressed that the manager was walking around and asking for ways to improve. Knowing what your audience wants is the way to succeed in the restaurant business. I think the feedback she was receiving may expand the menu. The wonton soup was not overly salty, the eggroll was great and main meals tasted fresh. The atmosphere was calm, clean and well decorated. I think the pricing was fair. I will go back for dinner. read more
